The Met Office has extended its yellow weather warning for snow and ice further westwards to cover all parts of the Anglia region.

The warning is in force until 10am on Tuesday 3 February 2015.

Snow has been reported on Monday evening in Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.

The Met Office says: "Showers of sleet and snow will affect the area overnight and for a while on Tuesday morning, bringing local accumulations of 1-2 cm, perhaps around 5 cm for the North York Moors. There is also a a risk of ice on untreated surfaces. The public should be aware of locally tricky driving conditions."

"A northerly flow will bring an air mass of arctic origin over the area. Showers will fall as snow inland and over hills, though may remain as rain or sleet near coasts, where the risk of ice may be higher."
